Drew Norman; Professor Gall, The Sort Of's)www.professorgall.comThe paths each song goes through can be downright creepy, but perhaps that's his appeal, a need to rip open the human psyche one layer at a time to be able to reveal something about ourselves that we are afraid to admit.....John Book of 'The Run-Off Groove' Acoustic Minds; Sweet soul driven harmonies over tight powerful songwriting. Acoustic Minds grabs you from the start and doesnt let go. Influences vary from deep blues to soulful rock. Live performances are a must see for this twin fronted group. You stand witness to the magic as it happens. Pete Ekstam; In 2006 he shared the stage with The Black Crows, Los Lobos, Burning Spear, Ozomot, Johnny Lang, Son Volt, and many others at the McDowell Mountain Music Festival in Scottsdale, AZ, and was selected as a finalist in the 2006 Tucson Folk Festival’s Singer/songwriter competition. He has recently joined forces with bassist Ken Tluczek (Lew-check) out of Phoenix and plans to record a full-length album in the fall/winter of 2006. Joy Wilson; After relocating three years ago to Portland from Durango, Colo., Wilson continues to develop her buoyant folk-pop sound. Now she's got a third album, "In the Meantime." When hearing her uplifting tunes, one can't help but wonder how they ended up opening for Steppenwolf, Foghat and Blue Oyster Cult, as they did a few years back at an outdoor rock festival Brian Copeland; Rob Thomas; both men and their projects contain saccharine lyrics and pop orchestrations so sweet they'd leave Bigfoot a drooling, drunken beast."-(KC) Willamette Week,
